I know these pages always end up causing some mixed feelings and controversy - but I interpret them a little differently and have always loved them because of that. Rogue doesn’t want kids now - she might later, she might not. She doesn’t know and I love that.
I know some people didn’t get the “friends” part of the ep 5 talk…but honestly it serves as the x-men 97 version of this speech. He loves her even if they aren’t together - but he won’t let them pretend things are the same.
I’ve had this in my brain forever and finally got around to asking

to make it a reality since I love the Jubilee version he created. And of course, he did an awesome job. It’s as fun as I thought it would be. (Cc:

The irony of rogue telling Charles that he needs to view his students as people (which fair)…but then joining the man who should have been treating her like a student but didn’t when she was young and vulnerable…is rage inducing. This is why it’s so hard to trust male writers.
@BIBlBIB
I’ve said before that I don’t really want a romantic storyline with them - but it would make way more sense to me because she can call him out in ways he will actually listen and he would actually treat her as an equal.
The odd numbered episodes have been an emotional roller coaster so I’m going into this week nervous but now I have these previews and they can’t be taken away from me!

I feel like if Gambit and Rogue ever have kids, they are going to get to relive this panel a lot. Principal’s office, police stations….
@616LEBEAUS
Also these are the same vibes that led to so many weird gambit hating guys for awhile because they all got crushes on her during savage land so how dare a fictional character get her when they can’t. (Sadly more than one of them ended up at marvel)

OMG you guys giving me gambit brushing rogue’s hair is the purest thing ever and I can’t stop looking at it even with her new aipt logo tattoo 💘💗💕
Writers should always remember that gambit’s powers are actually dangerous. One of the best things about astonishing 2017 was when Shadow King took over because he let loose with them.

I guess? Since it’s a future Captain Marvel book…I dunno. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS I LOVE YOU, IRENE! even though our time together is short and in fact already over because this was one shot future thing.
Me: “tries to take a photo to tweet a joke about the movie about the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on.”
Bob looking over at me seriously: So when the hell is Toy Story supposed to take place?!
@jonathan_eff
Marvel giving me a gambit and rogue wedding was enough but then they went the extra mile and had colossus left at the alter too. Such a magical issue!
I always say it - but this issue gave me not only the gambit and rogue wedding I wanted for decades…but colossus getting left at the alter. They’d didn’t have to give me that and they did. Perfect issue.
6 years ago today Remy LeBeau did the best heist of his life and stole wedding.
Happy anniversary to one of the best and most iconic couples in Marvel comics, Rogue and Gambit!
